The view from the road bridge looking towards Cootamundra. The line
to Cowra branches of the to right of the Demondrille North Signal Box.
The station was a pair of island platforms on the main and branch lines
just beyond the signal box. The overgrown line on the far right served
a dock platform just beyond the box.

Goulburn Station Signal Box was located not far to the north of the station,
on the up side of the line. It was decommissioned in 1979, about a week after
this photo was taken. Behind the box is the large goods shed
and platform.

Majestic Hamilton Junction Box was situated just to the east of the fork
on the Newcastle Branch, at the Beaumont Street crossing. This box controlled
a number of industrial sidings in the area such as the McIntyre Mill.

Henty Frame D sat on the up side of the line with its own small box. The lower quadrant signal on the very short pole to the left was for the branch and controlled from frame D. 42220, freshly painted, arrives from Sydney with a freight.

The view looking up the line towards the Hunter Valley Coal Loader. In the foreground is the old Newdell Signal Box, that controlled the former sidings for the Liddell, Newdell and Durham Collieries. The lights in the foreground are loading lights for Liddell loading bin.

Kapooka Signal Box sat off the main road and was rather an isolated box but was an important crossing point. This 1980 photo shows an automatic staff exchanger ready for an up train to Wagga. The staff was placed in the top ring for collection by the locomotive while the bottom "rams horn" took the staff from the Uranquinty section, all at speed.

The view of Neath's down platform, showing the small toilet/storage block
and the signal box, which controlled the Neath Colliery branch. This
branch left the main line on the middle background, and crossed the
road just behind the platform.

Parramatta Road Signal Box controls the level crossing with the busy main
road. The line often featured shortened trains due to lack of
available power on the line. The two car set is about to cross
the road and terminate at Clyde station. Note also the spare booms arms -
the booms at this crossing have a short lifespan due to inattentive
car drivers!

The view looking down the line beyond the station. The small cabin encloses the F Frame. The signals control the former main line to Bombala (left) and the branch line to Canberra (right). On the far right is the remains of the stock loading platform.

The signal box at Riverstone. Riverstone and all of the Richmond line is controlled by the signal box at Blacktown. This signal box at Riverstone is now operated part time as required by the station staff.

Sandown signal box, looking towards the end of the line, one part of which
curves away to the left behind the signal box towards the Parramatta River.
The other siding runs into the Shell Refinery. The Boral Plasterboard factory
is in the background on the right.

St Heliers Signal Box on was situated between Grasstree and Muswellbrook. This
52 lever box served the junction to the Muswellbrook No.2 Colliery Branch.
The utilitarian design of the box was destroyed by a runaway train on August
28th, 1987.

The now disused Towrang Signal Box. The levers, windows and even name plate have been removed less than a month since it was taken out of use. The box was taken out of use when the Upper Quadrant signalling was replaced with LED Colour Lights (28/29 May 2005). The siding, ground frame and crossover still remain. The view is looking towards Sydney.

A photo of a photocopied photo which shows the old Valley Heights Signal Box. The writing and call numbers and description on side of photocopy are unreadable but it appears to have come from either State Records or ARHS. Handwriting below photocopy reads, "Before it burnt down". This photocopy was until recently on the wall of the waiting room at Valley Heights station. Along with another shot of the box there are 2 others which are very bad photocopies showing the elevated coal road and Valley Heights depot dated in handwriting 1959. These were taken down when the station waiting room was painted.

The view looking west towards the old Wallerawang West signal box and the
junction of the line to Gwabegar. The siding is now used for
per-way storage. The area to the right of the main line was once the
site of extensive loco service facilities include ash and inspection pits,
a water tank, coal stage and a 60' turntable.

The Warwick Farm Racecourse Signal Box sat opposite the up end of the the
platform. The tracks from left to right are the dead-end Car Siding, the
crossover from the Run Around Siding and the Platform Road.

A mid-week Warwick Farm single deck racetrain approaches the grassy platform
in 1986. The Signal Box only used on race days and contained 20 levers. Lever
17 had the key for Frame B which controlled the points for the horse dock
siding.

The signal box about 100m to the east of Weston Station. This controlled
the branch to Pelaw Main and the sidings to nearby Hebburn No 1 Colliery.
Just visible in the grass is the remains of the line which branched off
to Pelaw Main and the Richmond Vale Railway system.

Woodville Junction Signal Box sits beneath Donald Street bridge and is completely invisible from the roadway above. The junction is visible in the background: straight ahead the line curves to the right to Hamilton and Newcastle, with a turnout to the left towards Islington Junction and further on to Maitland.
